"Your Majesty, no."

Zhonglang opened Ji Bu's eyes angrily, and he stepped forward and said, his voice sonorous.

"Fan Hao is brave, but he misses the country's major affairs. It's really deserved. ”

"Oh?" A question came from behind the curtain, and Empress Lu turned out of it and asked, "Why did General Ji say this?" ”

Ji Bu arched his hand and said, "Back then, the first emperor led more than 300,000 Han troops to fight with the Xiongnu and was trapped in Pingcheng, and Fan Xu was also in the army, so he couldn't save the first emperor from fire and water, so that the people of the world sang a sad song: 'Pingcheng is also sincere and bitter!'" You can't bend a crossbow without food for seven days. The sound of the song is still heard, the wounded and sick have not yet healed, but Fan Xu threatened to defeat the Xiongnu with 100,000 soldiers, which is clearly a bully. ”

Empress Lu was moved, seeing that Fan Xu's face was ashamed, and most of the ministers in the palace were cautious about going out to fight against the Huns, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and said secretly, "That's it, that's it." ”

"Your Majesty," she turned to Liu Ying and said, "General Ji is reasonable, this matter of attacking the Huns still has to be considered in the long run." ”

"I won't agree."

The ministers raised their heads in astonishment, and saw Emperor Huo Di get up from the upper seat, and his voice was slightly sharp, "Mao Dun dares to write such a rebellious letter, this insult, I can't just forget it." ”

"Your Majesty," Ji Bu said bluntly, with a bruise on his neck, "this battle really can't be done." ”

Liu Ying said loudly, "The Lord humiliates the ministers to death, don't you understand this truth?" ”

Ji Bu knelt down on the hall and bowed, "The minister knows the truth that the lord humiliates the minister's death, and the minister is willing to die for His Majesty, but the people of the world cannot go into exile for this." ”

One by one, the ministers of the whole hall knelt down and bowed to the king.

"You," Liu Ying felt dizzy in front of him, and turned to look at Xiangguo Xiao He, "Does Xiao Xiangguo think so too?" ”

Xiao He arched his hand. "Your Majesty wants to fight this war, and it's not impossible. The old minister would like to ask His Majesty a few questions. ”

"How much money is there in Shaofu now? How many cavalry and horses does my Han have, and how is the grain stored in the Chang Ping warehouse? Which of the generals of the Han Dynasty is good at grassland warfare? ”

Every time he said a question, Liu Ying's face sank, and in the end, it gradually sank like the bottom of a pot.

"Alright." He waved his hand and said, "Even so, will he be better off in his life?" Winter is about to begin, and the Huns have little grain in autumn and winter. Horses are thin and people are tired, if they really want to fight, they will be relaxed? ”

Xiao He was anxious. When he opened his mouth and was about to say more, he suddenly felt that his whole body strength was drained like a tide, and what he saw in front of him was blurred in an instant, and after shaking it two or three times, he fell down with a bang. I heard several people shouting in panic, "Xiao Xiangguo." ”

Xiangguo Mansion

Xiao He woke up slowly.

"Father," the youngest son, Xiao Yan, was serving in front of the bed, picking him up and looking happy, "You have been asleep for a long time. Finally woke up. ”

Xiao He felt like a burning oil lamp, about to dry up.

"Your father's life is not long in coming, and your eldest brother died early. Over the years, none of the farms and houses in my family have been in a rich land, and if you are virtuous, you will naturally follow my diligence and thrift. If it is not good, it will not let the powerful take it to heart. ”

Xiao Yan cried. He stood up and bowed down and said, "My son is instructed." ”

Autumn of the second year. Xiangguo Xiao He was seriously ill and closed his door.

On Xin Chou Day, a Qingbu Palace car drove into Beidi and stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The servant presented the name, smiled at the concierge of the prime minister's mansion, and said, "If you give it to the prince of the mansion, you will know." There is a kind of sharpness in the grace of the voice.

After a while, the middle door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was wide open, and Xiao Yan hurriedly came out of the inside, and bowed in front of the car, "I don't know that Your Majesty came in person, and the minister is not welcome." ”

When Liu Ying walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion, she saw Xiao He sitting by the lake fishing from a distance.

I don't know when, this famous minister who has gone through two generations of the Han Dynasty has lost weight to this point, a sharp back, and gray hair, drooping and old.

Liu Ying suddenly felt sad.

This old man dedicated all his talents and energy in his life to the Liu Dynasty, and made up for the two generations of their father and son. In the end, he was tired and fell on the Xuanmur Hall because of state affairs.

"Bang", the water waves are turbulent, it seems that a fish has bitten the hook, Xiao He is happy, and hurriedly lifted the rod, but he was weak and weak, and he couldn't lift it, the fish bit the hook and fell back into the water, somehow broke free, and swam away with his tail.

Xiao He was stunned for a moment, and a look of discouragement appeared on his face, and he put down the fishing rod happily. Looking back, I unexpectedly saw Emperor Xuanyi.

"Your Majesty, the old minister."

"Xiao Xiangguo is exempt." Liu Ying hurriedly picked him up.

"Sangkook looks good today."

"The weather is good, but it's just sunshine. Yan'er didn't know how to advance or retreat, and when she knew that His Majesty was coming, she didn't tell the minister. ”

Liu Ying smiled slightly, "Don't blame Xiao Qing, I didn't let him call Xiangguo." ”

"Your Majesty," Xiao He looked at Liu Ying's faintly guilty gaze and smiled peacefully, "The old minister's illness is due to the arrival of the old man's life, and he has been saving for a long time, and it has nothing to do with the affairs of the Xuan Room that day. ”

"Thank you Sangkook." The two walked along the path of the courtyard to the stone pavilion, and the servants of the Hou Mansion set up a mat in the courtyard and sat down oppositely, "I, I still want to talk to Xiangguo about the Huns." ”

"Your Majesty's desire to fight with the Huns has not been extinguished?" Xiao He smiled.

"Yes." Liu Ying straightened her back and said coldly, "The hatred of Emperor Gao in the past is the hatred of Pingcheng, and now he is disobedient to the book, and the humiliation of his parents is determined to snow!" It is not in vain to be the son of man. ”

Xiao He smiled, "Your Majesty, don't forget what the ministers said in the Xuan Room that day, these four things have not been resolved for a day, and the battle between Han and Hungary has not been solved for a day." ”

"I haven't forgotten."

Liu Ying interrupted him. "I will no longer impulsively ask for a battle with the Xiongnu at this time. It's just that I wonder when the time will come. His eyes were dyed with a keen luster by a piece of eagerness, and he looked at Xiao He earnestly, "In the past, King Goujian of Yue recuperated for ten years, and after ten years of rest, he finally broke the kingdom of Wu. If I also learn to practice lying down and taste courage, twenty years later, Han and Hungary will always be worthy of a war, right? ”

Xiao He was dumbfounded for a while, no one knew better than him that this great Han Dynasty, which grew up from the ruins after the end of the Qin Dynasty, although it looked prosperous on the surface, its foundation was actually too shallow, and it had not even passed its bottleneck period safely.

In his opinion, if you want to fight with the Huns, you need at least fifty years of rest and preparation.

But. Seeing the young emperor in front of him, he suddenly felt a kind of sharpness and vitality that had disappeared from their generation for too long.

"Your Majesty is ambitious, and this is naturally a good thing." He covered his sleeves and coughed, "If the Han Dynasty is united, and there are talented people from all over the world who come to Chang'an to serve His Majesty wholeheartedly, then twenty years later, it may be possible, and it is not known." It's just that the old minister can't wait to see that day. He smiled heroically and bleakly, "If twenty years later, the Han can really gallop across the desert." A snow day is the shame of the city. His Majesty remembered to send an envoy to the tomb of the old minister to sprinkle a glass of wine, and the old minister was under the nine springs, which could also be comforted. ”

"Just. Soldiers are the weapons of murder in the world. If Your Majesty wants to provoke, you still have to listen to the opinions of your subordinates. Don't go your own way. ”

Liu Ying suddenly fell silent and promised, "I know. ”

"Just don't forget the evils, give them books. Fear of disadvantages. Retreat to self-esteem, old age, depraved teeth, out-of-pace, merely listening, not enough to defile yourself. The cheats are not guilty. It is advisable to see forgiveness. There are two royal cars and two horses, so as to be often driven. ”

This is the last reply that Empress Lu planned to give to Mao Dun.

"Your Majesty." When handing the reply to Liu Ying, Empress Lu looked at her son's pale fingertips and smiled slightly:

"The queen mother is so humble, are you angry?"

"Be angry, but you can only keep it in your heart. This is the second lesson that the Queen Mother wants to teach you. Once upon a time. The queen mother taught you to be ruthless, but you were always unwilling to learn; So. This second lesson, forbearance, can you learn it? ”

I, on the other hand, have endured it for too long, so I have become accustomed to it, and I don't even feel tortured anymore.

And Ying'er, you are still too young, and the journey you have traveled is too smooth, so you are always impulsive and high-spirited, and you can never be sleek and mature between state affairs and courtiers.

As the old saying goes, jade can't be made without carving. Mother is willing to be the sharpening knife and sharpen away your useless edges and corners one by one. Even if she wears herself out in the end, the queen mother has no regrets!

In the summer of June, the first season of millet outside the palace was not yet ripe, and Liu Zhong, the Marquis of Heyang, who planted them with his own hands, had already died of illness. The spark of reverence and attention to the way of cultivation ignited by him will be inherited by Xu Xiang, the commander of Sosu, and his subordinates, and will be passed on from generation to generation.

In the autumn, Xiao He, who assisted the two generations of the Han Dynasty, died of illness, Xiao He from Pei County, he followed the first emperor to raise troops against Qin, along the way, the Han or there were ups and downs, but he was always loyal to the Liu family, never abandoned, and after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, he acted as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty's internal affairs, and for many years, it was well organized. In order to show his hard work and achievements in his life, and to show the emperor's respect for him, Liu Ying gave him the nickname Wenzhong, which set a precedent for the two-character nickname given to his courtiers in later generations.

In the blink of an eye, it was the third year of Emperor Hui, and Liu Ying's father's filial piety was about to expire for three years. will also turn 20 years old, and the middle palace is vacant, and the emperor's wedding is gradually on the agenda.

Liu Ying himself was not willing to marry Lu Wei.

"What's wrong with Xiao Jiu," came and went, and Empress Lu was finally annoyed, "She is your cousin, she is good-looking, and she is smart, what are you not satisfied with." ”

"Xiao Jiu is nineteen years old this year, not young." Empress Lu said bitterly, "She has been waiting for you for three years, and the girl's youth is limited, so she can't afford to delay it anymore." ”

"Then let the Marquis of Jiancheng allow her to be a person." Liu Ying said lightly.

"You-" Empress Lu was angry and raised her slap to hit him.

Liu Ying looked directly at her mother, there was a slight haze hidden in her eyes, as if stubborn vines were spreading, "I never wanted to delay her," his voice gradually became a hint of calm, "The person who delayed her is not me, but you, the queen mother, and my uncle." ”

He never expressed his intention to marry Lu Wei, it was Lu Jiancheng, and Lu Hou, wishful thinking, jointly created this illusion, and even made Lu Wei himself believe that one day, she would become the queen of Weiyang Palace and enter the Jiaofang Palace.

Lu Hou was slightly depressed, "You hate Xiao Jiu so much?" ”

Liu Ying was silent for a while, shook her head and said, "No." ”

He didn't hate Lu Wei, but he didn't want to marry her.

Back then, Chen Hu accidentally fell and died, and when he woke up from his grief, all the people, things, and things present at that time had been cleaned up, and nothing was left.

He could no longer find anything out of it.

However, it was precisely because there was nothing left that there were more seeds of doubt in his heart, why, Chen Hu was so sleepy during those days, why, in the East Palace, after his wife had supported him on the blood couch for so long, his mother was late? Why, in the palace afterwards, he couldn't find any trace of any of the palace people who served his wife that day?

He refused to delve into it, and in fact, he couldn't delve into it, but that thorn had already grown in his heart.

With such a thorn in his heart, he refused to marry Lu Wei after the death of his beloved wife, and he was extremely resolute. Although, he knew, maybe the proud cousin was not at fault in any way.

In November, the Xiongnu envoy knocked on the pass again, conveyed the apology of Mao Dun Shan Yu, said that the Xiongnu have always had the custom of brother and brother, in the past in Bai Mountain, Han Gao Emperor Liu Bang had been married to Mao Dun Shan Yu as a brother of the opposite sex, Shan Yu heard that the Han Emperor died, "worried" widow and young nephew, it is necessary to take care of the meaning, because the Han and Hungarian customs are absolutely different, a good idea was misunderstood, it is a pity!

The words were high-sounding, and Empress Lu was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she still had to smile at each other, "I see." Although the matter is not harmonious, but only in the beauty of the day, Lu Pheasant understands. ”

The envoy in Hu Fu smiled slightly in the hall, with uninhibited contempt on his lips, hugged his chest and made a Hu salute, and continued in an awkward Chinese accent, "It has been several years since the death of the eldest princess Suping. A few days ago, we dreamed of Jing Yan, and Yan kept crying, which was very pitiful. After waking up, Shan Yu was also very emotional, so he wanted to resume peace with the big man. And back then, the Han Dynasty and his personal envoy Liu Jing once said to us that the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty Lu Yuan had a daughter named Yan, beautiful and virtuous, and could be regarded as a single woman. Now Zhang Niangzi should grow up, if His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is willing to marry Zhang Niangzi to the Huns, then Mao Dunshan is willing to treat Han with the courtesy of a son-in-law. ”

The first winter snow of Emperor Hui's three years fell one after another.
